TDS would be liable to be deducted if the proprietor is liable to audit u/s 44AB in the previous year. Even if he wants to deduct voluntary there is no problem he can go ahead.

The liability to Deduct arises if the Accounts are required to be Audited under section 44AB of the Income Tax Act,where there is no liablility to deduct the asseesee should not move to deduct it.Hoever voluntary deduction will induce compliance of TDS Provisios such as filling of return & issue of Certificate.
